"Blind Orion Searching for the Rising Sun" is a 1658 oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This work is a notable example of Poussin's late style, which is characterized by a more somber and emotional tone compared to his earlier, more classically balanced compositions. The painting depicts the mythological story of Orion, a giant and skilled hunter in Greek mythology, who was blinded and subsequently healed through his encounter with the sun god Helios.

In the painting, Poussin illustrates the moment when Orion, guided by his young companion Cedalion, searches for the rising sun, whose healing rays are said to restore his sight. The composition is rich with allegorical meaning and reflects Poussin's intellectual engagement with classical literature, philosophy, and the visual arts. The figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity, and the landscape in the background is typical of Poussin's work, with its ordered and serene natural environment that contrasts with the dramatic human action in the foreground.

"Blind Orion Searching for the Rising Sun" is admired for its poignant expression of human vulnerability and the quest for enlightenment, both physical and intellectual. The painting is also an example of Poussin's mastery of light and shadow, which he uses to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of the scene. The work is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.

As an artist, Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) is often regarded as the leading painter of the classical French Baroque style. His work predominantly features historical, biblical, and mythological subjects, executed with a disciplined, rational approach that was influential on later generations of artists. "Blind Orion Searching for the Rising Sun" stands as a testament to Poussin's enduring legacy and his ability to convey complex ideas through the medium of paint.
